They told David it was impossible--that even the Reckoners had never killed a High Epic. Yet, Steelheart--invincible, immortal, unconquerable--is dead. And he died by David's hand.Eliminating Steelheart was supposed to make life more simple. Instead, it only made David realize he has questions. Big ones. And there's no one in Newcago who can give him the answers he needs.Babylon Restored, the old borough of Manhattan, has possibilities, though. Ruled by the mysterious High Epic, Regalia, David is sure Babylon Restored will lead him to what he needs to find. And while entering another city oppressed by a High Epic despot is a gamble, David's willing to risk it. Because killing Steelheart left a hole in David's heart. A hole where his thirst for vengeance once lived. Somehow, he filled that hole with another Epic--Firefight. And he's willing to go on a quest darker, and more dangerous even, than the fight against Steelheart to find her, and to get his answers.

It seems like it's been far too long since I featured a Brandon Sanderson book as my WoW pick. Clearly, I'm dying to get my hands on Firefight and see how David and the rest of the crew will attempt to take down more Epics. Learning about these super-heroes and their skill sets was beyond fascinating in Steelheart, and I can only assume things will get a lot more epic as the series progresses ;-)

Yay, another Sanderson fan! :) Though I haven't read Steelheart yet, I'm slowly reading through his books. I've read Mistborn this year, which was amazing and I'm currently reading The Way of Kings, which is turning out to be just as great.I haven't seen that cover before, I love it!
